Below is my statement regarding today's news that a federal judge placed an injunction on most of S.B. 1070.
As a Co-Sponsor of S.B. 1070, I am extremely dissapointed with the Court's decision, but I agree with Governor Brewer that this injunction is simply a bump in the road on the way to a stronger, more secure border.

WARING STATEMENT ON S.B. 1070 INJUNCTIONCo-Sponsor of S.B. 1070 Denounces Activist Judge’s Ruling
PHOENIX, AZ – Jim Waring, Congressional Candidate in CD3 and former state Senator, released the following statement today following word that Judge Susan Bolton has halted portions of Arizona’s S.B. 1070, which Waring co-sponsored and voted for.
“I am deeply disappointed today with the decision of the Court. The will of the people in our representative government should not be thwarted by activists Judges,” said Waring.
“The fact that this lawsuit was brought on by this Administration and the ACLU points to a clear political purpose for opposing this highly-regard legislation. The President, his Administration, and organizations like the ACLU should realize this is not a political issue; this is a public safety issue,” said Waring.
Waring has received numerous public safety awards throughout his career, including the Medal of Merit from the National Guard Association of U.S. and Legislator of the Year from the National Guard Association of Arizona (three times). Waring is the only candidate for Congress who has said he will introduce legislation to strip the Justice Department of the funds it’s using to sue the State of Arizona for passing S.B. 1070.
Senator Jim Waring is a tireless advocate for responsible government in Arizona. Jim has been named Champion of the Taxpayer, Guardian of Small Business, and Senator of the Year. Jim Waring Co-sponsored and voted for S.B. 1070, and will work to secure our borders once and for all. For more information contact the campaign at (602) 468-2010.
